Re: "The Lake Show" - LSSU Laker Hockey

I realize that now. Could have sworn I saw him Friday tho. Oh well. I still think K2 is da man, and I hope he gets the start at Michigan this Friday! GO LAKERS!!

I am sure he gets the start at MI Friday and Saturday if he plays well . What is the story on Ravn ? Do they think he is not ready to play yet ?

That is a big puzzle. Ravn had very good stats in Juniors, pretty much on par with Kapalka. I'm surprised Ravn hasn't seen a start yet.

I checked Ravns junior numbers and I agree, he seems on par to KK .

Re: "The Lake Show" - LSSU Laker Hockey

KK is the real deal. Hope he can keep playing at this level. The team really seems to feed off his play. Was curious if anyone noticed that the back-to-back shutout was the first since March of 1994 when the Lakers had 5 in a row? Does anyone know of one since? Well done Lakers...

Something "broke" since last week. Maybe someone up in the Soo will pass along any highlights from the show.

Yeah, hopefully Ravn gets a a couple starts to give him experience. BMW is gone after this year and there's always that chance that K2 might go down with an injury for an extended period of time next year.

Unless both goalies (BMW & KK) really struggle or get injured, I don't see how a 3rd string goalie could get any action this season when every point is meaningful. The only non-conference games left are coming up in Denver and that is probably a BMW/KK split weekend if I were to take a guess.

I expect Ravn will get at least one start on the exhibition swing through Ontario over the Christmas holiday break, but prefer to see him also get at least a couple of starts in games that count.

Ravn isn't a typical 3rd string goalie. That's why it's a bit of a puzzle why he hasn't got any starts. He had very good credentials coming out of Juniors. I know that 3rd string goalies normally don't see much action, but in this case I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a start.

What is the story on Ravn ?

That is a mystery. We already speculated about that last year and now he is here and he doesn't play.
On figures at least, he is on par with K2, and maybe better because I remember having read he carried a weak junior team to second playoff round 2 years in a row (Greenham from Alaska was there the years before and didn't do it). I think he made the allstar team those two years as well. I don't expect him to come in and have 2 shutouts, but K2 and bmw didn't look good on their first game in the season and several of you were concerned.
Last time Roque was asked at the radio show he said Ravn is not a typical 3rd goalie and he would play soon.
That was about a month ago, so if he wanted to make him play it would have happened already.

he deserves the start

I don't know what Roque's reasons are for not playing Ravn, but I think the whole situation is really strange. Before the season started I indicated that I hoped both Kapalka and Ravn would push BMW, but only Kapalka has been given that chance thus far. I think Ravn has gotten the short end of the stick.

You seem to be pretty sure about that
